BALD KNOB, ARKANSAS (RFD News) — Strawberry season has arrived, and one Arkansas farm is preparing to produce nearly 45,000 pounds of fresh berries. Horton’s Produce & More is part of the Arkansas Farm Bureau’s Farm Trail Passport, which features more than 35 operations across the state.
Kenneth Horton says the program has brought new attention to the farm while they gear up for spring.
“We’ve had a lot of response to the Farm Trail, a lot of people coming by that usually didn’t come this way. It’s been a good experience. You meet a lot of different people.”
Horton says it has also created opportunities to educate the public about agriculture.
“A lot of people are simply not aware of the way things are grown. They don’t live the farm life. It’s not that they don’t want to. It’s just that they don’t have the opportunity to come out and see it actually hands-on,” he said. “It helps to educate the people to know we do raise this product right here on the farm.”
Horton adds that the farm focuses on creating quality over volume.
